LAMU COUNTY: Embattled Lamu Governor Issa Timamy has had a turbulent political career since he declared war on people irregularly allocated land in the county that is set to host the Lamu Port.
Mr Timamy, who was on Thursday charged in connection with the recent Mpeketoni violence, won the gubernatorial election against former long-serving Lamu West MP Fahim Twaha of The National Party (TNA), becoming the only governor elected on the United Democratic Forum (UDF) ticket in the country.
